1992 Mercedes-Benz 500

Asking Price Range

Estimated MPG

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. When shown as a range, the prices are starting MSRPs, without options, for multiple styles for that model.

This price range reflects for-sale prices on Cars.com for this particular make, model and year.

These city and highway gas mileage estimates are for the model's standard trim configurations. Where there are optional features, packages or equipment that result in higher gas mileage, those fuel-economy estimates are not included here.

Still Going Strong

by the 11 year old kid who knows to much about cars from Hawthorn Woods, IL | November 25, 2010

"This car still runs well with a long lasting engine. Trying to find my way in the dark while it's raining is easy with the window washers for the front windshield and the headlights. This car helps get the job done especially at the airport, getting there with the roomy comfortable interior features for the long ride to packing all the luggage in the trunk. It goes faster than a new minivan with 160 mph and always get to the destination on time!"

Looks Are Deceptive!

by Unsatisfied Driver from Roanoke, VA | February 18, 2008

This has to be the worst car I've ever owned. I bought the car used only to discover it frequently cut off while I was driving. I took it to at least 5 different mechanics 10 different times (including 2 Mercedes mechanics) and no one could figure out what was wrong. Any time I needed a part replaced, the cost was astronomical. The gas mileage was okay and it looked nice, but boy were looks deceptive! I will never buy from Mercedes again. Getting rid of this car was the best thing I ever did.

Purchased car out of a quirk! Very nice indeed.

1992 300E sedan, 2-wheel standard model. 145K-miles and smooth! Since age and no car is perfect, there were 2 things to watch for as the trunk lid is not perfect. Notice the wear on left support arm where a spring is mounted. Look-out! One other thing is to make sure that the front electric AC cooling fans have an inline fuse to protect from short circuit conditions. Otherwise, very nice car- to be sure. Can always impress the many who experience it. A keeper!

BEAUTIFUL THEN, AND BEAUTIFUL NOW!

My family's first Mercedes was a 1992 300E sedan, that car was amazing in its day and still is now, we bought it in 93 when it was a year old for 32,000 and even though the value has decreased my love for the car and all my memories with it have not. Even though we dont drive it as much as our other cars we've had it for over 10 years and expect to have it for another 10. That car is what made us realize just how well German cars are made and built to last, i can guarantee any nissan or toyota would not last as long as this car. the only major problems we've ever had were the alternator and the ignition needed replacement. other than that NOTHING! this car led my family to buy a 2003 e320(used which is another German masterpiece , and a 2002 c230 kompressor sport coupe which is an amazing car with incredible pick up, i beleive all these cars will be with our family for a very long time. Keep on doing what your doing Mercedes!

"It Is What it Is - A Good Value for the Moneyl"

by Sedan and Sports Car Lover from Lexington, KY | March 18, 2007

After 1 1/2 years, my 1992 300SE still runs fine. At 1/10th the original price and purchased with an odometer of 166,000 "it is what it is"; a good value for the money, 15 years later. I enjoy several types of vehicles; one is "the tank" commonly referred to as luxury sedan.
Do I trust it? When purchased, this car was older and had more miles on it than any car I'd previously ever SOLD. Aside from a blown headlight and spark plug wires, this is still a vehicle I do trust. We regularly drive 1200 miles roundtrip to Florida and enjoy both a nice ride and power that is in keeping with the size. For the price, it has been an excellent choice.
Does it have GPS, side air bags, and blinkers in the mirror? No. Does it require a little more TLC and regular maintenance. Sure. For the price, considering the age, this is an excellent ride. I will enjoy the upgrade to a newer, similar vehicle in a few years, after the "break in" period.

Unhappy Buyer

by Unhappy Mercedes Buyer from Plano, TX | May 20, 2006

I purchased this car today. Gorgeous inside and out. Drove excellent on the test drives. Seemed to be a perfect car. Boy was I wrong! On the drive home the car was pouring out smoke and loudly knocking! This car was such a pretty car. In such great cosmetic shape. Too bad this car is such an unreliable drive. Had such possibilities. Unfortunately, you cannot judge a book by its cover! Don't waste your time purchasing this car. Chances are, you could be like me...own the car for less than twenty minutes, before you are faced with returning it or your very first repair bill! This car doesn't even deserve one star. Couldn't even last a little drive home. The only reliable thing about this car is that it will break down. Sooner rather than later. And you will be loving this car all right, FOLLOWING it in a tow truck! Beware of the older Mercedes!
